Subject: Gary Nabhan talk in
Flagstaff April 17
I'm excited to let you know that the Landscape Conservation Initiative and Sustainable Communities Program are bringing acclaimed author and ethnobotanist Gary Paul Nabhan to Flagstaff for a lecture on Wednesday, April 17.
Gary's talk, "Food from the Radical Center: Rediversifying our Food Systems in the Face of Climate Change," will look at how a number of community-level food restoration projects in the U.S. are conserving native plants, promoting better eating habits and public health, and helping to unite communities at a time of great challenge and division.
Gary is the W.K. Kellogg Chair in Southwest Borderlands Food and Water Security at the University of Arizona, the recipient of a MacArthur "genius" grant, the former director of the Center for Sustainable Environments at NAU, and a widely published author and conservationist.
The talk takes place at 7 PM in the High Country Conference Center. It's free, and free vouchers will also be provided for the adjacent parking garage.
Please distribute this widely to your networks, and encourage your students and colleagues to attend!
Thanks,
PF
